BosToN, Dec. 17-Rev. Justin D. Fulton
to-day wrote letter to the Rand-Avery
Company, which recently refused to print
his book, entitled, why Priests Should
Wed" submitting Communication from
Anthony Comstock, in which the latter
states that after an examination of the book
he believes DR.. Fulton's motives and inten-
tions are absolutely honest and right, and
that the facts collected are absolutely
true, supported by living witnesses. DR..
Fulton, therefore, demands that the print
ing company submit the proofs to the
Attorney General, or any lawyer, and that
if there is anything in them which they de.
eide will make the company liable, the
author will modify such portions. The
Rand-Avery Company have replied that

Republicans claim substantial
gains in the recent election in this
State. The returns fail to verify
the claim. The Democratic vote
by Congressional districts was 65,-
1S4 against II ,43S cast for Governor
Wilson, being a Democratic loss of
6.254- The Republican vote this
year was 81 ,269 against Sc. 149 cast
for Maxwell Republican loss of
1850. There was. then. no Repub
Iican gain; simply a larger Demo-
cratic loss. It cannot be- seriously
claimed that all the votes cast for
General Golf can be depended on
to vote the Republican ticket per-
manently, and it is well known
that neither Wilson nor Snyder
polled the full Democratic strength
of his district. Lack of proper or
ganization was a potent cause for
a light Democratic vote, while
every means was employed by the
Republicans to get out every voter
who could be secured by close dis
triet organization and the expend-
iture of large sums of money
With a close party organization
and under the inspiration of a
presidential contest, the Democrat
ic party can poll $4,000 votes at
she next election and beat its OPP

DeagI1 or senator Logan.

Senator John A. Logan, died at
his home. in Washington City, on
Sunday, December 18th, aged so
years, after an Illness of t1o weeks
with acute infiammatsry rheuma-
tism. He will be sadly missed by
the whole country. A Washington
correspondent says Gen. Logan was
man of the strongest individual
ity. He had deep seated prejudices
and convictions, was an extremely
bitter partisan, and of the most I'M
doubted courage. He was thor
oughly genuine, and like all i'm.
pnIsive men had a warm side for
those who knew how TO touch it
But partisan as he was, he would
separate from his party when his
own sentiment of what was fair
and right came in conflict with its
interests. A memorable instance
of this was the last occasion when
he took part in any noted debate in
the Senate, ON the motion to inves-
tigate the charges of bribery and
corruption in the election of Sena-
tor Payne, of Ohio. He voted
against the motion, although his
course exposed him to the most
malignant attacks from Republican
journals. Gen. Logan, like the late
ex Senator Howe, of Wisconsin,
was one of that exceedingly small
number of men having long public
careers at Washington who never
amassed riches. He was poor all
his life, while many with whom
he sat In one or the other house Of
Congress, and who came here with
no more in their pockets than he,
amassed millions. The slightest
breath of suspicion never rested on
his integrity, and no man of all
the Hobbies which have fourished
here ever dared to approach him.
Perhaps one of the greatest defects
in his character was an over sensi-
tiveness, which often made him
take things in a personal sense
which were not SO intended. His
term in the Senate would have
ended four years from next March,
and a Republican will of course
succeed him.
